Welcome to Gaia! ::

What a lively school! Full of... the demon paused in the middle of the hallway he was at, trying to find the right word to describe what he was trying to think. Gaudy? no.. Tacky? Hmm... Simplistic?... No, no. Not right. Horrendous, atrocious, disgusting!! Sacrilege! Yes... yes that was it. What in Jack's name were these people wearing?! So far, very few of the students here had worn something that seemed slightly less tragic than what he was witnessing now; one of which he had gained a map from. It seemed normal to be stared at; after all, who looked as awesome and well dressed as he, after all? Though, he did wonder if he had over-done it on the green motif. A bit of fun making at himself and his kind, is all. Most people didn't even seem to get the reference anyway, so it was funny all the same.

Shifting his weight a bit, always semi-posing (not that he was completely aware of it) for a picture of some sort, he pulled the map out of his back pocket and studied it a bit. Instead of going straight to the Dorms, as he probably should have, he decided the best way to adjust to this school would be to look around. He had done so at every other school he had been forced to attend, why not this one? Though now he wished he had brought the notebook he used to write down notes with. So many helpless souls needed his guidance! Or a good hairstylist. Or just.. needed a deep hole to hide themselves in.

One of them. Shaking his head sadly in dismay, he tapped his bottom lip a bit as he found out where he was, not really caring for the attention he was definitely getting. After all, staring at handsome things was a given!

Rubbing his chin as he twisted the map this way and that, Livi wasn't liking this bit of paper much. Honestly, who had written this map? Shouldn't there be the names of the areas in here somewhere? The icons he was getting, but the rest? Pffffft! A sigh was heaved as he looked up and around to see if maybe he could find someone... with.. brains.. (not the drooling massive staring at him) to tell him where places were.

If asked, he couldn't say what made him notice the odd little girl shuffling merrily on her way. Maybe it was the fact she was shuffling. Or the fact her feet and hands seemed... backwards? That was a new one for him to see. Or maybe... it was... that... His eyes narrowed a bit in distaste at the thing she was wearing. What was that? It was obvious that it was meant to be something of importance, but it was filthy, ratty... and completely the wrong shade of color for her! His right eye twitched a bit before he decided, for her own good and to cure his own growing sense of boredom, that she'd have to be the first. Unlike the other Hopeless Causes he had seen so far, this one held some potential to become something better.

So. The first step to anything. "Pardon me!" Folding the map a bit, he lightly jogged about three steps to reach the small shuffling thing. "Excuse me, could you help me?" The more he saw on her, the more he was becoming determined that she needed help. And not just any help. HIS help. "You're a student here, right?"

Livi's head tilted a bit at the reaction he got. Aww, was she shy? He'd consider that cute... if he didn't have too many thoughts in his head. She seemed shocked that he would speak to her, which did strike him as odd, especially since there were other demons at this school. Once he got the answer he wanted, he nodded and grinned a bit to himself but it showed regardless. "Perfect. I'm a tad bit lost around here. I was hoping you could help me." Wasn't like she seemed to be doing much past sitting there and kicking her feet.

Straightening his sleeve a bit out of habit, he studied this girl more closely. What kind of being was she? Normally, he wouldn't have overly cared about such a thing such a monster type, since most types were a bit clear cut, but he wasn't sure on this one. She seemed like a zombie... but he had never heard of a zombie that looked like that and spoke some what intelligently. "Do you have some time? Could you show me around?" And that'll give me time to figure out how to get you into something other than that... that... thing!

Most thought his way of asking for things politely made him less a demon and pissed his parents off to no end. But he had learned that not being a p***k first off tended to yield better results. And how else did one earn a proper fan club by always being cold and aloof? Booooooring!

While he waited for an answer, he looked her over completely, his eyes taking in every part of her attire and her features. There were a few things that proved she had some taste in color. Though it wasn't like he'd know if she picked that herself or someone else did. Her color scheme was interesting to be sure. Gah, he didn't even have any fabrics! Not that he could sew, that's what seamstress people were for, but he used it to decide color and palette schemes for his Projects. This one would be a challenge but... he should have some money right now. Enough to at least get started...

But by then, the girl was speaking so he paid attention, wondering why she looked so dejected and down cast. Really, he hadn't asked that hard a question. Least, he didn't think so. So the way she was fidgeting was making a brow shift up higher and higher. She'd get him more lost than he already was? Well, that wouldn't completely work, now would.... his eyes gleamed as an idea came to mind.

"Now, now. It can't be all that bad. I already have a map here, but I can't make heads or tails of the thing. Let's go ahead and try to get around together, hmm? We may get more lost but... think of it as an adventure! And those are always fun to partake of every now and then." A soft nod was given to that, because it was a brilliant idea! And how could anyone truly refuse him? Straightening a bit, he extended a hand to her. "Shall we, Miss?"

Her agreement pleased him and to show that he really did have one, he showed it to her. He left out how he got the thing, since typically, one had to pay for a map. Typically. If they were someone other than Livi. The fact she had hopped down without noticing the hand made him wonder about her a bit, but he didn't take offense. Apparently, those of other classes didn't do such things? Nice thing to learn. He'd definitely have to remember that.

"It's all right. No offense taken." It was hard to make him feel offended anyway. That'd mean he'd have to care to a certain degree. And he just met her. For now, these things were in the 'cute' factor. "Break... brains? Pardon?" That was definitely an odd thing to be asked out of the blue. Did he break people's brains? Tilting his head a bit, he rested a hand on his chin and tapped his cheek as he pondered this notion. Did he really? Well... let's be honest here. Yeah, he probably did. But was that truly something to tell this girl? She looked nervous as it was and he didn't want her that way. So he did what demons did best. Bend the truth a bit. "I don't really think so, but I wouldn't know if I do or not. Why? Is it a deal breaker if I did?"

"Amrita... that's a nice name." Different, but nice all the same. Taking up a tiny, backwards hand, he brushed the air above it lightly after he swept into an effortless bow. "Pleasure to meet you, Amrita. I am Livi. Pleasure to meet you." Smart of her to pick up on the fact he had been asking her name without being overly obvious about it. That earned points.

Least the girl was easy to appease. Another mental note taken as he took in her reactions to him in general. Was she like this with everyone or was he just special that way? Best to just leave it as he was just that special. "Hmm... well, I may ask some questions, but I'll try not to break your brain, all right? Never a good idea to hurt the brain of the person helping you out." Chuckling softly, he rubbed her head gently. For some reason, it seemed like the right thing to do. That and she was really reminding him of this hell-hound puppy he had found not that long ago. Too bad he didn't know if he was allowed to bring it to school... hmm.

Anyway, focusing now. "Lucien? Is he a friend of yours?" Best to figure it was a he, since not many females were named Lucien. His smile grew at her discomfort and though a part of him felt bad for making her seem so... defensive, it was still amusing.

Where had he been trying to go...? Good question. To be honest, he had no clear cut destination in mind. "Hmm... somewhere to eat, I suppose. I just got here, and I wasn't allowed to make pit spots so I haven't eaten in awhile. And then any places of interest?" He figured she'd know at least a place or two that'd be somewhat interesting... hopefully.

Was it bad to be amused by how happy it made her to agree to things? Nah, not really. He didn't hear any sounds from her, but he did see the change of expression on her face when he rubbed her head. Did she like head rubs? Apparently so! Maybe he could use it as a reward system of sorts. Until he found something else she'd like or something. Ah, plotting was ever so much fun!

Livi nodded a bit when she said this male was her friend. Ah, friends. An odd concept to an envy demon, to be sure, but one that always kinda floated around. What were they like, these friends? But it wasn't something asked of out loud. Just pondered really. "Hmm that sounds like a fair place to start. Do they serve good food here?" He really did hope so. "So lead on! Or.. we can use the map and figure it out. Either which way, let's have some fun, hmm?"

Though he was already having lots of fun... in his own fashion.

When he didn't truly receive an answer about the food, he began to wonder if he'd have to go out to find something good to eat. But he didn't seem overly bothered but it. She was doing her best and it wasn't his job to make her feel bad about anything. Other than make her want to change that atrocious way of dress!

Handing her the map with no issue, he watched as she looked it over and waited for a general direction by which to go. It seemed fairly obvious that she was almost as green (ha! no pun intended) as himself in these matters, but they'd make due somehow. Whether they were going in the right or wrong direction didn't overly bother the demon. After all, he was looking for a way to pass the time before he simply had to go see how much redecorating he'd need to do to his new room.

"Hmm? Oh this?" He gave his outfit a look over and shrugged a bit. "I like the style of clothing, in truth. The green is more of an.. inside joke, I suppose. Poking a bit of fun at myself, as it were." He didn't overly care for green one way or another. Since it was part of his main hair color, he was stuck with it. Since dying it was out of the question. "Do you like... uh.. yellow? It is yellow, right?" Or was it a dirty orange? Honestly, he couldn't tell and it was driving him mentally batty.
